The Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks announce the re-signing of infielder Yhoxian Medina and addition of right handed pitcher Cameron Griffin to the 2018 roster.

Before signing with the RedHawks in 2017, Medina was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the 38th round of the 2011 MLB Amateur draft out of Southeastern Iowa Community College.

“Yhoxian is an elite defender in professional baseball and we’re excited to be bringing him back this season,” said RedHawks Manager Michael Schlact. “His defense speaks for itself, but his offensive production towards the top of our order sets the tone and kick starts the entire lineup. Besides that, we love his leadership qualities on the field, in the dugout and in the clubhouse.”

Medina appeared in 94 games for the RedHawks last season, batting .279 with 94 hits and 44 runs scored.

Griffin played collegiately for Columbus State (GA) and was drafted by the New York Mets in the 34th round of the 2013 MLB Amateur draft.

“We are excited to have Cameron Griffin joining the RedHawks this coming season from the New York Mets organization,” said RedHawks Manager Michael Schlact. “He’s very businesslike on the mound and is a fierce competitor. We see a lot of potential in Cameron, we like his delivery, mix of pitches and command. We believe he has the tools to be a solid starter in our league.”

In Griffin’s minor league career, he’s posted a 4-5 record, with a 2.83 ERA and 120 strikeouts in 127 innings.
